SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT

According to announcement the Colby
schools closed last Friday with public
entertainment. Owing to the storm
however. the audience was not as large
AS was expected. and several of the
scholars were also unable to be present
very agreeable entertainment how
ever. was given. and by request of the
citizens was repeated on Monday even
tng. This time the house was crowded
TO its fullest capacity. and all listened
attentively to one of the best entertain
ments of the season. Each and every
one did exceedingly well. and displayed
talent second to no school of this class.
Hans Won Smash brought down the
house. But those deserving the most
praise. and who produced the most pleas
ing effect were the several parts render
ed by the little folks. and we must say
we never saw better tact and talent any
where The song entitled The Bat" by
Misses Maud Feely. Oracle Weld. and
Hattie Walker. and Master Willie Martin
was among the best Master Willie man
aged to get in Hes under my hat. y in
manner becoming future statesman
"CourtshIp." by Miss Minnie Lauterbach
and Master Ray Weld. was rendered
more naturally than many older persons
might have done under similar circum
stances. Song. Walking in the Rain"
by Miss Oracle Weld. was highly compli-
mented. Recitation Voyage of Life
by Miss Flora Davidson. deserves much
praise. as does also the recitation of Miss
Martha Lauterbach. Space will not per-
nit full detail of all the exercises. but
before closing We must say we think the
entire entertainment was highly appreci-
ated by the citizens of Colby and vicini-
ty. and We hope the scholars and teachers
of our schools will not make this their
last entertainment of this kind.

The joke about the Rabbit metal ore
which was found in the hills In the
vicinity OF he old sawmill, seems not
TO have been such a sell after all. 1t
will be remembered we spoke at the
time Of Tom Irvine having sent his
specimen to Butte for assay aud he
has had returns from 1t, showing 1t to
run to the ton SIS in silver, S. in gold
aud $3.50 in copper, and the ssssyer to
whom he sent il tells him that If he
finds a ledge Of that ore he will be a
rich man.. The mex question is TO
find the particular location OF that
ledge and there the mystery lies. No
doubt prospecting parties will HE
themselves to the hills in great force
when they hear of this.
